GEORGE TOWN: Hotels along Penang’s famous Batu Ferringhi tourist belt went dark for Earth Hour 2023.
Most of them turned off all unnecessary lighting and only kept essential ones in public areas dim from 8.30pm to 9.30pm in line with the global movement observed in more than 190 countries and territories on Saturday.
Some vacationers also joined in, such as married couple Brian Cheang, 32, and Sherine Goh, 29, who were on a weekend getaway from Kuala Lumpur.“It’s heartening to see people come together to effect change,” Goh said. “Communities that are exposed to such a global movement can make a big difference as they get a better understanding of conservation efforts.
